I don't know what "shimp mammies" are, but ^JAPR, mantis shrimp are edible. They are popular in the Mediterranean, and if you like sushi, try "shako".
They taste like pre-buttered lobster.

I would rather bang a human sized praying mantis that was on fire than bill'o.

BillO and Fox News wouldn't realize or acknowledge being owned if a Godzilla teabagged them.

The sperm fertilizes the egg, he loses his tail.

The boy mantis bangs the girl mantis, and loses his head.

Is it just me, or is there a pattern here?

The pleasure was all mine.

Well, that was a set-up... its like saying "Mike Tyson, v. a kitten" and you put him in the ring with a full-grown tiger. That Cricket is WAY bigger than that mantis... no fair.

But you're rottenseed!

Found this more detailed description on Youtube:

Thaumoctopus mimicus. This fascinating creature was discovered in 1998 off the coast of Sulawesi in Indonesia, the mimic octopus is the first known species to take on the characteristics of multiple species. This octopus is able to copy the physical likeness and movement of more than fifteen different species, including sea snakes, lionfish, flatfish, brittle stars, giant crabs, sea shells, stingrays, jellyfish, sea anemones, and mantis shrimp. This animal is so intelligent that it is able to discern which dangerous sea creature to impersonate that will present the greatest threat to its current possible predator. For example, scientists observed that when the octopus was attacked by territorial damselfishes, it mimicked the banded sea snake, a known predator of damselfishes.

I wanted to see that praying mantis catch its meal!
